TL;DR Summary

Over half of Scavengers Studio, the Canadian developer behind Season, have been laid off, according to former staff. The studio employed around 40 people, and its debut title, Season: A Letter to the Future, sold 60,000 copies since its launch in January, which was "too little for the studio to recoup its costs." In 2021, the studio was accused of fostering a toxic work environment, and creative director Simon Darveau was indefinitely suspended. Darveau left Scavengers Studios in March 2023 to become creative director at an undisclosed new studio.
